I will eventually become a god through sheer hard work.

The serious punch was inspired by the concept of the "Courageous" spear technique, which gathers the body's energy into a single burst, and further incorporated Xue Jing's understanding of martial arts to form the move.

It not only possesses the meticulous attention to power exertion characteristic of the "Perfect Fit" style, but also draws inspiration from the Hidden Dragon Style's profound insights into how to maximize physical strength.

Xue Jing, with his exceptional mental cultivation and the skills of "Contemplation of Truth" and "Acting Skill" that can influence emotions and thoughts, made certain adjustments to the "Courageous Strike" technique, transforming it from "reckless impulsiveness" into "a bold spirit that dares to take a step forward after careful consideration, risking everything."

Naming it 'Serious Punch' may have a touch of humor, but it's certainly a very fitting name for this move.

Xue Jing was quite satisfied with his results.

This move, the "Serious Fist," can be described as a "secret technique that is not a secret technique."

It does not create a special field that can affect the surrounding phenomena like an ultimate technique. Instead, it is a powerful punch thrown by pushing one's own body to the limit with a determination to risk everything.

There are no other special effects from any other sophisticated martial arts techniques; it is simply the impact of the fist's kinetic energy, pure destructive power.

Because it is pure, it is powerful.

In terms of power, it surpasses his strongest single-target attack, "Eye-Pointing".

The only problem is... this move consumes too much energy.

Even Xue Jing's True Martial Body, a superhuman physique capable of effortlessly unleashing powerful punches, felt somewhat overwhelmed after delivering a serious blow.

Since this move is derived from the three-shot technique of the "Courageous" spear technique, it actually has a follow-up.

In Xue Jing's vision, its complete form is 'Continuous Serious Fist'.

However, it seems that he can only use it when he is at his limit, and as for the students... it's difficult.

"Teacher Xue, that move is too powerful, but..."

"How could anyone possibly learn that?!"

One student complained loudly.

"This is clearly not a technique that we can learn at our level; it's too advanced!"

"Who would try to do advanced calculus problems right after learning basic arithmetic?"

"Could you teach me something simple?"

Xue Jing smiled and was about to speak when Cao Sini, who had been standing next to him, reached out and grabbed the hem of his shirt, whispering:

"...Teacher, I want to learn."

Xue Jing was slightly taken aback, then reached out and patted her head, saying gently:

"Okay, I'll teach you."

After saying that, he activated the [Initiation] technique, slowly pouring all the knowledge and insights related to 'Serious Punch' into Cao Sini's mind, reaching the depths of her consciousness.

Cao Sini closed her eyes, her face turning pale, and a fine layer of sweat gradually seeped from her body. She began to tremble slightly from time to time, biting her lower lip as if she were suffering something unbearable.

The students looked at each other in bewilderment.

"What are you doing?"

He Han stroked his chin and guessed, "Could it be that Teacher Xue is an old immortal who can rejuvenate by absorbing the energy of young boys and girls, and is now using his energy-absorbing technique on Cao Sini?"

Ye Jingqiu glared at him: "You're not allowed to slander Teacher Xue!"

Seeing that the female classmates around him were hostile towards him, He Han raised his hands and quickly said, "I was just saying."

After watching for a while, Chen Xingyan said, "I think it's more like a transfer of power than an absorption of power."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Baijing pondered for a moment and said, "I've heard our sect leader say that those powerful martial artists with extremely high spiritual realms can directly impart their martial arts to others through a method called 'Divine Intent Infusion'..."

"However, this technique is said to come at the cost of the recipient's own memories and insights. Once the essence of a certain martial art is imparted to someone else, the recipient will lose all memories related to that martial art..."

Everyone exclaimed in surprise, "No way! Does that mean Teacher Xue is going to lose 'Serious Punch'?"

He Han suddenly said, "Wait a minute, isn't Teacher Xue's goal to choose one of us to inherit his 'Serious Punch'?"

Upon hearing this, the others' expressions changed, and they became somewhat frantic:

"Oh no, doesn't that mean Cao Sini beat me to it!"

"Damn it, this woman usually seems as cold and aloof as a block of wood, but she's so clever right now. I misjudged her!"

Amidst the noisy discussion, Xue Jing's "enlightenment" of Cao Sini came to an end.

Xue Jing withdrew his hand, and Cao Sini's body went limp and she began to sway. Just as she was about to fall, Xue Jing grabbed her shoulder and supported her.

"How are you feeling, Sini?"

Xue Jing inquired.

Cao Sini opened her eyes. Her previously narrow, sharp, and fierce gaze had softened considerably. She composed herself and said:

"I'm fine, Teacher Xue... I feel like I've already learned it."

Xue Jing smiled and said, "Then, let's give it a try."

He reached up and patted his chest:

"Teacher, you can be my punching bag."

Cao Sini was slightly taken aback, and hesitated before saying, "This..."

But seeing Xue Jing's nonchalant smile and the strength he had consistently displayed, Cao Sini gritted her teeth:

"Teacher Xue, be careful."

Her gaze sharpened, and an aura erupted from her body, creating a ring of air currents.

Its imposing presence gave people the exact same feeling as when Xue Jing unleashed his "serious punch" before.

However, in terms of 'scale', it is more than ten times smaller.

Cao Sini did not adopt the same straight punch stance as Xue Jing, but instead spread her palms out and straightened them, resembling a through punch.

Strictly speaking, "a serious punch" should be called "a serious strike." What matters is the spirit with which this move is executed. Whether it is a fist, a palm, a knife, or a sword is irrelevant; it is simply more suitable for a "fist."

Cao Sini prefers to use a 'striking hand' to attack rather than punches.

Amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, Cao Sini's hand, with unwavering resolve, pierced straight into Xue Jing's chest.

The airflow was torn apart, and the air emitted a sharp whistling sound... Everything was exactly the same as Xue Jing's punch, only on a much smaller scale. Even if Xue Jing himself lowered his physical level to Cao Sini's level, this would be the extent of his attack.

It's almost a 100% replica.

"Bam—!"

With a muffled thud, Xue Jing, who had simultaneously unleashed the Golden Scale and Cloud-Sealing Tail techniques, felt his bones tremble as he completely absorbed the powerful impact through his own skeletal structure.

Then a dragon's roar resounded, and Xue Jing threw a punch to the side with his right hand. All the kinetic energy was released by him with the Fengyun Tail, turning into a visible pale golden dragon-shaped energy that roared and broke through the wall of Xuanwu Mansion, disappearing into an unknown place.

"not bad."

Xue Jing nodded and smiled.

Seeing that Xue Jing was unharmed, Cao Sini breathed a sigh of relief. As soon as she relaxed, the mental and physical strain she had reached its limit caused her to faint. She slumped softly onto Xue Jing's shoulder, her head resting on his collarbone.

Upon seeing this, the group of female classmates stared wide-eyed, so envious they almost bit their handkerchiefs.

"They actually have this move?!"

Some of the quick-witted female students secretly realized the solution and learned it.

After laying Cao Sini down against the ground, Xue Jing looked at the crowd and saw that they all looked dejected and listless. He immediately asked in confusion:

"What's wrong with you guys?"

The girl with thick eyebrows sighed, "Teacher Xue, you've already passed on the 'Serious Punch' to Cao Sini, so we can't learn it anymore, can we?"

Xue Jing was puzzled: "Why can't I learn it?"

"Teacher, there's no need to comfort us. Cao Sini learned it in one go just now. It must be because you gave her a divine blessing. Now, Teacher, you probably don't remember the 'serious punch' anymore."

One of the girls said with a hint of resentment.

Xue Jing understood the reason and immediately burst out laughing:

"Oh, I see... I thought you didn't want to learn."

"Don't worry, I always treat everyone equally and won't favor one over the other. If I say I'll teach you, I'll make sure you all learn. But since Sini spoke up first, I'll teach her first."

“Divine initiation does have this side effect… but I’m a very special person.”

After a pause, Xue Jing continued, "...it's far more special than you can imagine."

“I can teach each of you martial arts in the form of ‘initiation’, which others cannot do, but I can do.”

"Come on, one by one, in order of student ID number."

After hearing this, everyone looked at each other, half believing and half doubting.

But tempted by the prospect of learning the 'serious punch,' the students still took a step forward and approached Xue Jing.

The student with the highest student ID number is Xu Zixuan.

Looking at the somewhat reserved-looking young man in front of him, Xue Jing smiled meaningfully.

"Relax."

"...Yes, Teacher Xue."

Xue Jing placed his hand on Xu Zixuan's crown and used the "Initiation" technique to deliver a serious punch to the opponent.

After it ended, he did not withdraw his palm. Instead, he had a sudden thought and reversed his energy flow, beginning to absorb the other person's knowledge.

...However, I couldn't inhale it.

Xu Zixuan's mental defenses were extremely strong. After his mental consciousness instinctively sensed Xue Jing's intrusion, he immediately locked himself in place, preventing Xue Jing from touching anything in his mind.

Returning empty-handed, unable to absorb the other party's knowledge or discover their situation, Xue Jing didn't take it to heart.

Often, the act of 'not wanting to reveal information' itself reveals a lot of information.

Xu Zixuan was extremely wary of him, and for Xue Jing, realizing this fact was enough.

"Old Xu, how's it going? Did you learn it?"

He Han asked Xu Zixuan, who had just returned.

Xu Zixuan looked pale and weak. Upon hearing He Han's question, he immediately let out a groan.
